THE MED!

Still healing the maimed and broken at The Med here in Memphis. Love the trauma stuff. Amazing how it can go from a sleepy night to wide FREAKING open in like two seconds. Love going to the roof to meet the helicopters. Like to watch them come in. They have a lot of ex-military pilots working for them, and they like to be a little fancy in their landings. And their take offs. Trying to get some pics of the choppers but sometimes it just dont work out. But you know my job would be pretty slow if it wasn't for SOME DUDE beating the hell, cutting, and shooting everybody. Thats the answer you get when you ask someone "who did this?" "Some dude." Jeez this guy has got to be the busiest SOB in town. All in all I think it's pretty cool.
Of course working with the med students and residents can be fun. Esp when you know more than they do. But all in all most of then are pretty cool and it's fun to work with them. It just is kinda depressing that all of them are way younger than me. Esp when they call me SIR.
But anyway on the personal front. Not much going on. Dating a little but mainly looking for a house at a price and in a neighborhood that I like. Amazing how much they want for a house so small. Why can't I win the lottery and be able to buy what I want? Of course the fact that I don't buy tickets might have something to do with not winning. What you think?
Trying to spend time with Jeremy (my son). We are getting into a hunting club down in Greenwood MS. Really looking forward to this season. Me especially, I guess cause I know that probably after this season he is gonna be hunting those two legged deers alot harder. Guess I need to enjoy the time I have as much as possible. 'Cause before I know it he'll be talking to me just enuff to get the car keys and money. Geez, just thinking 'bout that makes me feel old!
Any how, thats my life to date. Drop me a line tell me 'bout yours.

Amazing the things that you can find while cruising the delta. Saw the ole timer riding down the side of the highway. Had to stop and get a pic of this rolling piece of art. LOL!

Life Goes On!

Well, Dear Readers, it's been a while since I last posted. Life continues to throw me curves. Went back to the Delta to see if things could be saved. But there has been way too much water under the bridge. The forgiving for the past hurts was do-able. It was the forgetting that was hard. So our paths have split. I'll let you read that as you will.
As far as work goes it's great. I'm working at The Regional Medical Center in Memphis. More commonly know as THE MED. I'm doing Shock Trauma now. It's like Life in the ER on TLC. I love it. Nothing is ever the same. It's great to actually feel like your doing something. I'm doing full time here and signed a two year contract. So I guess i'm here for two years. But the money is ok and I like it so life is good.
So tell me whats happening with you. Update me on your life. And I promise to do better updating here.

Here I am in the position again.I know I've been lax in posting of late. But life has really been in a turmoil of late. Won't bore you with the details. Just let it suffice to say that a bad country song could be written from my life. Anyway, just letting my followers know that I'm still alive.

Me in THE POSITION as I call. Butt in a chair and feet up. Try to stay this way as much as possible.

The Ache Never Ends.

Duality
I push my fingers into my eyes
It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache
But it's made of all the things I have to take
Jesus it never ends, it works it's way inside
If the pain goes on...

I have screamed until my veins collapsed
I've waited as my times elapsed
Now all I do is live with so much fate
I've wished for this, I've bitched at that
I've left behind this little fact
You cannot kill what you did not create

I've gotta say what I've gotta say
And then I swear I'll go away
But I can't promise you'll enjoy the noise
I guess I'll save the best for last
My future seems like one big past
You're left with me 'cause you left me no choice

(I push my fingers into my) eyes
It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache
If the pain goes on, I'm not gonna make it!

Put me back together or separate the skin from bone
Leave me all the pieces, then you can leave me alone
Tell me the reality is better than the dream
But I found out the hard way - nothing is what it seems

(I push my fingers into my) eyes
It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache
But it's made of all the things I have to take
Jesus it never ends, it works it's way inside
If the pain goes on, I'm not gonna make it!

All I've got - all I've got is insane

(I push my fingers into my) eyes
It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache
But it's made of all the things I have to take
Jesus it never ends, it works it's way inside
If the pain goes on, I'm not gonna make it!

All I've got - all I've got is insane

Lyrics from Slipknot

Well, Dear Reader. You may ask why I've posted this today. Guess it's because it describes my state of mind of late. Been having a bit of an emotional crisis of late. My plans for traveling further have fallen through. Can't seem to find a company that wants to pay more than I'm making right now. Can't see leaving what I got to go away and make the same money.
I'm also having a bit of crisis at home. Things have gotten shaky with the wife. Things were rough before I went to Connecticut, but since I've been back it has only gotten worse. We have grown so far apart that I'm not really sure we can grow back together. Thinking that it might be time to fly solo. Damn life can be so hard sometimes. Losing lots of sleep and about thirty two pounds since I've been home. Not that the weight lose is a bad thing.
So I guess that this is my apology to y'all, my reader, for not posting much of late. Got lots going on. So how's things in your neck of the woods? Post a comment and say HI.

WALMART STEALS.

Why you may ask did I title this entry this way.....? Well lemme tell 'ya. Went to Walmart to get the oil changed in my truck before making the 150 mile trip back home. I had my digital camera on the console of my truck. I liked to keep it there to take pictures of stuff that caught my eye. well anyway they finished my truck i paid and scooted out. Got 'bout an hour away and realized my camera was gone. Of course called the store only to be told.... "SORRY THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO".
Yeah I realize that they have the sign up that states they are not responsible for items left in you car. But didn't think that it was also a license for the employees to steal. Am I bitter? Heck Yeah. I mean it was only a $150.00 camera but it's the principle of the matter. I used the customer service link to the main office in Bentonville, AR. No answer from them. So this is my rant against WALMART.
And of course you gotta shop there. They move in and run everybody else out of business. But I have learned my lesson. Never gonna give them the opportunity again to steal from me. Gonna watch them like a hawk from now on. And lock my stuff up for sure.
So 'nuff 'bout my great life. Hows things for you? Drop a line and say "HI".
